"Ezekiel predicts that this will be accomplished when the Messiah delivers them from the invading hordes led by Gog (Russian leader), of the land of Magog (the land around and above the Black Sea), the prince of Rosh, (Rosh are the modern ethnic Russians) Mescheck and Tubal. (Sons of Japheth (Gen. 10 v.2) ancestors of peoples who settled in Eastern Europe & southern Asia) It is easy to establish who this power is. The first clue Ezekiel repeats three times. He will come from the extreme or uttermost north of Israel, Russia.

Second, he will be a descendent of the ancient tribes of Magog, Mescheck, Tubal and a later people named after the combination of these people.

Third the Russian people will rise to power. Ezekiel clearly identifies the time: "After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them. (Ezek 38 v.8) In other words, this refers to our present era, which began with the rebirth of the nation of Israel.

Ezekiel gives a roll call of those who will fight alongside of the Russians in this invasion of Israel: "Persia, Cush and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, also Gomer with all its troops and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops, the many nations with you. (Ezek. 38 v.8)Persia is modern Iran; Cush is the son of Ham (one of Noah's sons) and is the father of the black African people; Phut is another son of Ham and this involves N. Africa, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Mauritania; Gomer is Eastern Turkey; Beth Togarmah is central Asia: Islamic southern Republics of the former Soviet Union - Armenia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tadzhikistan, & Kazakhstan."
